UK Wealth Consultant Bob Cossey Dies

An important figure in the wealth management sector has passed away at the age of 69.

Bob Cossey, the wealth management consultant whose business - Parkwell - bought Compeer over 20 years ago and helped drive the business’s success, has died at the age of 69.

Hailing originally from Essex and living in Limehouse, London, with his partner Lucy Johnson, Bob Cossey was a familiar and much-respected face in the wealth management industry. Compeer benchmarks the wealth sector and analyses key industry trends. Parkwell, which Bob Cossey founded in 1988, bought Compeer in 2004, and he was appointed a director.

Bob Cossey was a sports enthusiast, with a love of rugby union, cricket and horse racing. Just a day before he passed, he was avidly watching the England versus France rugby game.

“I’ve been overwhelmed by how much people loved and respected him, and they have all been  shocked about his death,” Lucy Johnson said. 

The team at WealthBriefing extends its condolences to Lucy Johnson and Bob Cossey’s colleagues and many friends inside and outside the wealth management sector.
